Braided Raffia Straw Tote

IBELIV

simons.ca

Braided Leather Messenger Bag: Choose this if you want a structured messenger-style bag with a distinctive basketweave braided leather exterior in brown, sized about 12 inches high by 17.5 inches wide by 8.75 inches deep. It offers both a top handle and an adjustable crossbody strap with a padded leather shoulder pad, a flap compartment with tongue-buckle closure, and practical interior organization including multiple small pockets and a zip pocket, all lined in cotton with a signature storage bag included. Note that the dark brown shade is based on product images and may render slightly differently in person.[1,2,3]Braided Raffia Straw Tote: Choose this if you want a large, structured black tote in braided raffia with cowhide leather details—it measures 19.5 inches wide by 17 inches tall by 5.5 inches deep and closes with a magnetic button. It suits shoppers who want both grab handles and a removable, adjustable crossbody strap, with visible stitching and brass magnetic snaps as part of the leather trim detailing. Note that the main body has an open, loose braided weave with square-like mesh gaps, so the interior is not concealed.[4,5,6,7]Pure Black Braided Raffia Xxl Tote Bag: Choose this if you want an oversized, understated tote in braided raffia—measuring about 53 cm long, 39 cm tall, and 18 cm wide—with integrated grab handles, a magnetic snap closure, an interior pocket, and bovine leather details. It is one size, handcrafted from 90% raffia and 10% cotton, and IBELIV positions it as a timeless, responsibly made accessory celebrating Madagascan weaving expertise. Note that its braided weave has small perforations where light can show through, which matters if you want a fully opaque bag.[8,9,10,11]
